Photos, and a very minor point

Photos are tough.

I'm a trained professional, and I carry my camera everywhere. I also look up every time I hear aircraft, have for years.

I just submit this picture as an example of how unsurprising it is there are so few worthwhile photos. I heard the helicopter coming, I had at least five seconds to switch on, drop lens cap, spin up, zoom in, and shoot. I took five rapid photos, only one of which came out, and then only slightly. And this is as good as it gets, even with full resolution cropped around the helo:

Something to think about. Carry on. :hi:

1. Wait...

you may have something here!

That helicopter doesn't have a tail rotor!

And it doesn't have a right landing skid! That thing that looks like the left landing skid is obvioulsy a missile launcher!

And I can't see a pilot! Its a remote-controlled missile-launching tail-rotorless drone!

:sarcasm: off

Agreed. Photos can be a boon or a bust depending on their quality.

2. Repeat, using a plane....

The body of the chopper looks pretty clear to me. Let's see, spinning rotors photograph just as well as fixed wings. Yeah, right. Thanks.
